  1. Hi Xero Team,

    I’d love to suggest a feature that would really improve efficiency when invoicing clients with recurring or frequent billing.

    In QuickBooks, when selecting a contact on an invoice, it would show a quick reference of that client’s last 5 invoice amounts. This helped a lot with ensuring consistency in recurring invoices, especially when amounts vary slightly month-to-month.

    In Xero, the “Add Last Item” toggle doesn’t quite solve this, since many clients have more than one invoice per month — so it may not reflect the most relevant or recent invoice for the context.

    It would be amazing…

  2. Hi Team,

    We would like to highlight that in India, it is a regulatory requirement to maintain an edit log (Audit Trail) based on the Triple ‘W’ Approach – When, Who, and What.

    For example, if a journal entry is edited, the system should capture and display:

    Previous values (amount, GL code, date, narration, etc.)

    Since this is a regulatory requirement, could you please confirm if an enhancement can be made to comply with this, and share an estimated timeline?

    Looking forward to your confirmation.

  3. When you lodge BAS using Xero automation, it creates a draft Bill. My idea is that the BAS report the bill is based on, is also uploaded to the draft Bill as an attachment.

  4. Can we please have an automatic email notification to the subscriber when a organisation adds or removes an employee - This would be required for the purposes of updating billing when the ability to add additional employees for $4 takes place in September 2025.

  5. It seems we can only class expenses within the profit & loss as staff costs or other charges. Ideally the breakdown should match the tax return.

  6. Payroll Activity Summary to show per employee, not just as a total for all employees. Currently you have to select each employee to generate the totals for 1 employee and if you have 100 employees, that's 100 reports instead of just 1.
    Exactly like MYOB does it, sample MYOB report attached.

  7. It would be great if we could copy timesheet tracking each week. We have a client that has extensive tracking for timesheets - with some employees having time tracked to a number of different tracking codes. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to save the tracking for each employee so we do not need to enter it each payrun.

  9. Xero to xero network - send purchase orders. Want to be able to send my regular supplier a Xero Purchase order via Xero network, who can then create a bill in their Xero, who can then send me their Invoice via Xero network. Would be super helpful given the start of the workflow is typically the purchase order.

    Thanks for your idea, Paul. Great to hear you find using the Xero network helpful in your workflow.

    We'll gauge the interest from the community in expanding the use of the network to send purchase orders. This isn't something we have plans for at this stage but we'll let you know if there are any updates.

  10. Please show the VAT number on the VAT page. At the moment either need to go via the Financial settings or drill into a VAT return to see the VAT registration number. Would be good if quickly visible on the VAT page

  11. Please add option in Xero Payment Services to pass Zip transaction fees to customer on top of my invoice amount. At least most of the invoice amount will be paid to me.

    Like Stripe card payment service, pop-up could prompt payee to accept the fee on top of invoice amount. The 5-8% zip fee is too high to absorb for my sole trader businesses.

    In Xero > Settings > Payment Services - the Zip payment service could have some settings just like Stripe card payments has to choose that option of including fees in the amount or adding the zip…

    Hi christine, is this a common situation you find yourself or business running into? It'd be good to understand more detail if there are common circumstances that lead you to needing to edit a batch payment after it's been created.

    For the time being we'll start to feel out the interest in this from community. Thanks!

  13. In Canada, 'Make Payment' button is not available in 'Bills'. It would be nice to make payment directly from the Bills instead making payment from the bank.

    Thanks, Urjit for submitting your idea!

    We've taken a look, and it's now ready for the Xero community to rally behind. Other users can now vote and offer their thoughts on how this could enhance their own Xero journey.

  14. On Xero bills, as well as being able to filter and search for purchase invoices by contact or invoice reference, being able to search by a nominal code would be helpful. For example, making a payment run for all of one type of cost; finding any invoices that have not been allocated properly or for finding amounts that need to be included in management accounts.

  15. Expenses - I want to be able to give an employee the ability to submit on another's behalf but not to be able to approve them or see everyone else's expenses e.g. Executive PA should only be able to submit her the Executive and not have the option to approve or see another employee's expenses.

  16. It would be great to look down the list of files in the Xero Files inbox and see a thumbnail image of what the PDF is, so that non-relevant ones or replicas can be deleted in bulk.

    When files are forwarded, often the attachment is loaded to the inbox along with multiple other files which turn out to be logos from the email signature, and it is time-consuming to have to open every file to find out whether it is relevant or not, and delete individually.

  17. Reports eg Transaction reports, should be able to be summarised by tracking category. Currently if a bank transaction is spread across a number of tracking categories, the transaction report will report this as 'multiple categories'. This is very unhelpful.

    Appreciate what you're asking here, Simon. However when grouped or summarised by tracking and a bank transaction has multiple lines that are coded to different categories its not possible to show these all on the report.

    On the flip side of this, if you run the report on a Grouped by basis you'll be able to see the transactions related to the multiple categories and can drill into the transaction to view the detail.

    Alternatively, adding a Related account column to the report you'll be able to see the account the transaction is coded to. Then, running the report for the related accounts e.g Sales would give you the line by line breakdown so you can view each tracking option the transaction has been allocated to.

  18. The charge card bank feed from Lloyds CCDM to be implemented into Xero. Currently a manual statement has to be uploaded.

  19. That would be great to make the Contact group field visible on the Bills to Pay screen to let us filter to certain contact groups when we are preparing a payment file.

    We use the contact groups for example to mark suppliers that are paid by Direct Debit, so this would be a useful feature to filter them out and do not pick their invoices up for a BACS payment.

    We also have another group of suppliers within the contact groups that we pay at once on the same day of each month so we would be able to easily…

    what I would like is a button on a support case which allows me to create a product idea linked to the support case, so i don't need to copy and paste the entire case history into the product idea

    Aah I see what you mean now, and appreciate you sharing more detail, Anna.

    In terms of the original idea, you can reply directly to the email update you received about the status if there is extra detail you'd like to share with the team - In this case I've merged your original idea with this one to keep the information all together.

    We don't have immediate plans for this, but will keep considering how we improve their efficiency when engaging and sharing feedback. We'll track the support here and share if there are any updates. Thanks
